are SNA clients
The SNAplus2 server provides the communications link to the host. The Windows PCs are configured as SNAplus2
clients so that they can continue to run their existing Windows applications, while also using SNAplus2 (or existing
third party) emulation programs to run corporate applications on the host.
3.7 Enterprise SNA Network
After adding all of the branch offices described in this chapter, the Global Bank’s entire network is configured as
shown in Figure 3–7, Enterprise SNA Network. This network configuration enables users to communicate across
different networks seamlessly, supporting Global Bank’s investment in centralized host-based applications at the
same time that it enables off-loading of branch processing to the local offices.
